the.com/double chin
The body's way of storing extra opinions you swallowed instead of saying.
means A roll or fold of fat beneath the chin that creates the appearance of a second chin.
from A plainly descriptive English compound: "double" (from Latin duplus, "twofold," via Old French) plus "chin" (Old English cinn, related to German Kinn and a wide family of words for the jaw across Germanic languages). The phrase simply names what the eye sees — one chin, then another below it — and has done so in English for centuries.
